Be realistic.
We all know those sequels/remakes are going to be awful at worst, mediocre at best cash-grabs.
Why?
Because that is what these kinds of movies have almost always been.
Maybe there is going to be an exception á la Jumanji remake, but face it, even that one can hardly be described as “high art”.

I hate most all sequels and franchise movies. It makes me think audiences don’t want to be upset by anything unfamiliar, like toddlers who will watch one DVD over and over and over. And it’s sad that people make so much money being lazy.

Anyway….A Star is Born is the only one on the list that piques my interest. Gaga seems like an old-time trouper with the attitude of, “These people paid for a show and I’m going to give them their money’s worth!”

I’m a fan of original, independent films, but I’m also a sucker for watching a different take on previously made material, as long as it’s done well with artistic merit. I don’t get why you think it’s such a bad thing.

I was actually quite surprised by this exercise. There are far fewer in the “Don’t even know what the original is” and other very negative categories, than I would have expected.
